Chapter 290: Coming Home
The simple and simple room does not have many furnishings, and the peeling lacquer surface of the old tea table can see the mottling of the years. The old elm wood can be seen everywhere, simple and stable. There is a painting on the white wall, and on it are two vigorous and powerful words, Beihai.
The sound of rain dripping from the eaves outside the house.
Two cups of tea on the table were steaming, and the father and daughter sat opposite each other across the tea table.
Shi Beihai was dressed in a dark blue robe, and his eyebrows were quite similar to Shi Xueman, but his expression was cold and serious, not smiling, and he looked like he was carved out of rough rock. Short, neatly repaired hard stubble, revealing toughness.
Looking at his daughter, who had similar eyebrows to him, he couldn't help but think of his deceased wife, and his eyes softened a lot. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, the bitterness released in his mouth. If my wife is still here, I don't want to raise my daughter like this.
Shi Xueman didn't drink it, her father liked bitter tea, the most bitter tea, she couldn't get used to it, she liked sweeter tea.
Shi Beihai suddenly asked, "What do you think of Duanmu Dusk?"
"Brother Dusk?" Shi Xueman thought of the gossip circulating in the market, and was a little clear: "Will the elder want me to marry him?"
Shi Beihai nodded: "Someone mentioned it." ”
Shi Xueman was very direct: "I don't like it." ”
"Got it. Shi Beihai took another sip and glanced at his daughter, although his daughter hid it well, he could still see his daughter's hidden anger.
He smiled a little in his heart, but said casually: "The person who proposed was sent to the front line by me. ”
Shi Xueman's heart warmed, but she was a little worried: "Will someone say that you don't care about the overall situation?"
She doesn't like intrigue, but she is not a person who doesn't listen to things outside the window, and the undercurrent inside the Five Elements Heaven is surging in her eyes.
"I'm Shi Beihai. ”
The faint tone revealed a powerful and domineering spirit.
He really has enough confidence to say this, the thirteen divisions have suffered heavy casualties, and the status and weight of the radicals today are far greater than they were back then.
The six divisions of the Mountain King, Junsha, Cold Flame, Burning Flower, Grass Killing, and True Wood, although the Five Elements Heaven still retains the system, it exists in name only. The remaining four divisions, Beihai, Nishang, Tianfeng, and Bingren, were all assassinated not long after the outbreak of the blood disaster. The two radicals of Beihai and Nishang survived the crisis, but the head of the soldier department was killed, and the head of Tianfeng's department was injured, and he has not yet recovered, and his strength has been greatly reduced.
The losses of the deputy heads were even more severe, and the deputy heads of the four departments all suffered casualties.
The only thing that reassures the Presbyterians is that the Central Third Division remains intact to this day. Otherwise, I really don't know how to resist the attack of God's blood.
Shi Beihai continued: "The choice of marriage will give the elders a headache. But you have to prepare, this mission, I plan to let you lead the team. ”
Shi Xueman was a little strange: "Why? I'm not good at negotiating. ”
She is really not good at negotiation, she is better at fighting with real knives and guns on the battlefield.
"The blood of the gods is leading the team with She Yu, I think you will be interested. ”
Hearing She Yu's words, Shi Xueman nodded without hesitation: "I'll go!"
She went through many long battles, but the most memorable battle was the Battle of Matsuma Castle. Even now that she thinks about it, her heart can't help but tighten. She didn't know how many times she dreamed of Ai Hui's back kneeling in front of the grave in the pouring rain.
She Yu's robbery at the last moment was also unforgivable in Shi Xueman's opinion.
Back in the room, Shi Xueman sat in front of the window in a daze.
After a while she walked to the news tree in the courtyard, staring at the ancient leaves, thousands of words brewing in her heart, but she didn't know what to say.
She smiled dumbly and took up the pen to write.
"When will 80 million be returned?"
Thinking of the other end of the news tree, Ai Hui's sore teeth, she was inexplicably a little happy. Every month she would call for debt, and what a good pastime it was on busy days.
Hehe, lose money!
Ai Hui still doesn't know that the "money-losing goods" in his mouth are her. She felt that she was too witty now, Ai Hui thought that she could hide from everyone, but she forgot that he had taken the news tree and had sent out a leaf.
Oh, it looks like I picked it myself.
But that's not important, you can just collect debts!
Writing down the words of debt collection, Shi Xueman suddenly felt that his thoughts were much more accessible. Today's Five Elements are worried about external troubles, stormy and turbulent, and she, as the daughter of Shi Beihai, is in the whirlpool. However, everyone knows that Shi Beihai has a spoiled personality for his daughter, and he has a tough personality, and no one dares to provoke him.
Even so, she often felt physically and mentally exhausted.
My father was as strong as a rock.
Sometimes, she wondered if there was anyone around her who could be as strong as her father, maybe it was only Ai Hui, and she didn't know when Ai Hui would be able to come out of that nightmare.
Shi Xueman was a little distracted.
Returning to Ningcheng in the dust, Ai Hui was shocked by the hot scene in front of him.
Didn't you go somewhere?
Outside the city there were people everywhere, densely packed, like ants. Trees were cut down, land was leveled, ditches were dug and ditches were built, and there were constant loads of rattan carts flying around, piling up mountains of items everywhere.
Fortunately, he saw several familiar faces in a row, which made him realize that he was indeed not in the wrong place.
Bypassing the crowd and entering Ningcheng, Ai Hui returned to his own dojo.
"Loulan!" Ai Hui shouted at his throat.
A group of small Loulans rushed out of the house carrying a group of sand characters much larger than their bodies.
It reads, "Welcome back, Ai Hui." ”
Ai Hui laughed, seeing Loulan was just making people happy.
The sand character melted and became Loulan again.
"What's going on outside?" Ai Hui looked puzzled: "I see a lot of construction outside, is there something to build?"
"It is said that it is to build a small Five Elements Heaven, Ai Hui. Lou Lan explained: "In order to be able to have a place for fire cultivation, earth cultivation, and wood cultivation, we will rebuild the small Five Elements Heaven. Connected by five cities, it has been determined that Ningcheng and Yunling City are located. ”
"No wonder there are so many people. Ai Hui suddenly realized: "Ningcheng is too small, this is to be expanded." It really needs a small Five Elements Heaven, otherwise, everyone will run out. But now Ningcheng is going to be lively. ”
He came to Ningcheng at that time because there were fewer people here and it was quieter.
Unexpectedly, the trade route passed through Ningcheng, and Ningcheng became an important trading town. Now that Ningcheng has been determined to be one of the five cities of the Little Five Elements Heaven, it will inevitably become more lively and prosperous in the future.
"Yes, Ai Hui. Recently, many outsiders have poured into Ningcheng. "Lou Lan Dao.
"Ha, we're also outsiders. Ai Hui smiled: "Is there anything going on in the past few days when I've been out?"
"There are three things, Ai Hui. Loulan said: "The first thing, there is a person named Fu Yonghao who wants to come to learn art. He's been here twice. ”
"Fu family?" Ai Hui was a little surprised, touching his chin and groaning: "What do they mean by this?"
Loulan didn't know. Loulan shook her head honestly.
"Came twice. Ai Hui pondered: "That's very sincere, Loulan, how much is our tuition?"
"A thousand yuan power, Ai Hui. ”
"So I'm so cheap?" Ai Hui frowned, the Jingyuan Beans in his bag made him no longer look down on this little money: "He is so old, the cost has to be calculated separately, 10,000 Yuan Li, two Jingyuan Beans." ”
"Okay, Ai Hui. Loulan didn't object, but continued: "The second thing is that someone wants to buy our dojo. Bid 500,000 gold yuanli. ”
"Not for sale!" Ai Hui wanted to roll his eyes: "500,000 yuan power wants to buy such a large piece of land? This guy has his head caught in the door? ”
He completely forgot that when he bought this abandoned warehouse, it only cost 1,500 yuan.
This used to be a warehouse belonging to Su Qingye's family, but the place is relatively remote and has been abandoned. Ai Hui needed a relatively large place close to the Silver Mist River at that time, so he chose this place.
It was precisely because he knew that Ai Hui wanted to set up a dojo that Su Qingye's father sent him to Ai Hui's dojo and became the first student.
Now that Ningcheng is one of the small Five Elements Heaven, its status has risen greatly, and it is foreseeable that Ningcheng will definitely be a large city in the future, and it must be one of the most important cities in the Five Elements Heaven. Why is it expanded? It is because Ningcheng can no longer accommodate so many Yuan Xiu, and the price of land in the city has soared, and Ai Hui can think with his toes that in the future, Ningcheng will definitely be an inch of land.
Wouldn't it be a loss to sell now?
Loss-making business, Ai Hui doesn't do it.
"Okay, Ai Hui. Loulan very much agreed with Ai Hui's idea, and continued: "The third thing is that the news tree has new news from Ai Hui. ”
Ai Hui asked casually, "Who sent it?"
"Miss Compensation. Loulan still used a cheerful tone: "She asked you when the eighty million will be returned?"
Ai Hui's face immediately fell: "Losing money and urging life, if you don't urge a few times a month, it's really a long life, I knew that the leaf shouldn't have been picked by her at the beginning." ”
Lou Lan's eyes widened: "Is Ai Hui trying to repay the debt?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Ai Hui said loudly with a righteous face: "Tell the Fu family that the tuition fee is four Jingyuan Beans!
"Okay, Ai Hui. Loulan said happily: "There is nothing else." How did Ai Hui get this time?"
It wasn't until this moment that Ai Hui felt a sense of raising his eyebrows: "Ha, it's a big gain!"
"Really, Ai Hui?" Lou Lan's face was full of surprise.
"See what this is?" Ai Hui smugly as he took out his object.
"Falling Star Sand!Miansha!" Loulan's tone was full of surprise. With these two materials, his body can be greatly upgraded. Now his body can't support the full speed of the midnight sand core. He had to keep the midnight speed at a very low range.
If you upgrade your body, you will be able to better help Ai Hui!
"It's not out of the way, is it? It's just falling star sand and cotton sand. Ai Hui took out another thing from his arms: "Look at this!"
"Sand compass!" Lou Lan's eyes widened suddenly.
Ai Hui threw the sand compass to Loulan and said proudly: "That's right! But it hasn't been unlocked yet, it's up to you to unlock it." ”
"No problem, Ai Hui!" Loulan said loudly like a soldier, "Give it to Loulan!" (To be continued.) )
